Editorial Reviews

After a perilous mission to a huge asteroid, a crew returns to its space station, unaware a bit of ooze from the asteroid clings to a crewman's uniform. The green goop grows - into murderous, tentacled monsters. And as station members fight to live, gunk from the monsters' wounds turns into more monsters! That's the story. Now enjoy as our heroes fight to preserve Earth and, unintentionally, our own senses of humor with a movie that Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times called "one of the funniest made-in-Japan sci-fi monster movies ever." Kinji Fukasaku, whose later work was championed by Quentin Tarantino, directs. The world would be a far more bleak and joyless place without marvels like The Green Slime.

I ordered this directly through the Warner Archive site
and received it a few days ago. (Pricey!) Anyway, I'm glad
to finally have this among my Japanese monster collection.
This film creeped me out as a kid when I first saw it in
theaters, mainly because the creatures were just too weird.
It's goofy, cheesy, and a lot of fun - with a plot that
predates 'Armageddon' as astronauts attempt to blow up
an asteroid on a collision course with Earth. They do so,
but end up contaminating their space station Gamma III
(an extremely low-budget plastic toy obviously inspired
by '2001', which was still popular at the time) with the
titular crud that spawns the space monsters. I wouldn't
be surprised if this, in some goofy way, also influenced
'Aliens'. The film was made in conjunction with Japan's
Toei studio and directed by their ace 'yakuza' director
Kinji Fukusaku, who recently found renewed fame with his
'Battle Royale' series of films. The quality of this disc
is miles ahead of its vhs counterpart (the only other one
in existence) and is widescreen - though there's no extras
and no chapter stops. I believe that's typical for Warner
Archive editions. You may want to wait for the price to
drop however.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best movie I ever appeared in. September 4, 2002
Format:VHS Tape|Amazon Verified Purchase
Richard Jaeckel was great.. courteous to the extras, acted well. Better production values than "King Kong Escapes" One of the better Japanese science fiction movies.

Little known fact.. the actor playing the monster in the green slime also played Godzilla in the 1960's Godzilla movies.

(An extra)

5.0 out of 5 stars I Got Slimed Last Night February 18, 2011
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The folks at Warner Archive need to be thanked for the wonderful job they have done in finally releasing this classic on DVD! The color and sound are great and the widescreen presentation is even better than I had hoped for. Goodbye VHS! The acting in this film ranges from awful to non-existent, the special effects budget was probably about $2.95 and that theme song....! But this one's a favorite. I loved it when I was a kid and I love it even more now. But please don't remake it. I don't think anyone in film today could do it justice. This is classic 1960's "B" sci-fi. Let's just keep on enjoying it as it is. Five stars.
